Open Road

The sky is as wide as the smile on a waitress

At a late night roadside cafe outside of Pecos

Texas, where the west is all that's left

For the restless soul

Neon shining motel sign inviting me inside to rest my bones

And I can feel the wind

Blowing against my skin

How long has it been?

I don't know

Since I've felt alive behind the wheel

I don't have the time to close my eyes and sleep 'til morning

I got Austin in my rear view

And I'm bound for California

I heard Cold Dog Soup in Houston

And I'll be damned

If I wasn't hummin' Dublin Blues at sunrise just outside of Monahans

It's the sound of a violin

As the stars start to settle in

How long has it been?

I don't know

Since I've felt alive behind the wheel

And I can feel the winds

Blowing against my skin

How long has it been?

I don't know

Since I've felt alive behind the wheel

Since I've felt alive behind the wheel

Since I've felt alive behind the wheel

On the open road
